Truck Sales Rep – Columbia

We are looking for someone with experience in the trucking or heavy equipment industry who isn’t afraid of tackling a hunter sales position.

Important Things First

• Pay: $50-$60k base
• Commission: Additional commission provided (not included in the base range above)
• Total comp with base + commission: in the first year, a conservative estimate for total comp falls around $75k-$90k/year if someone has no experience; by year 2, someone should be making in the six figure range with base + commission; by Year 3, $175k-$300k is a good target range.
• Travel requirements: On the road (days only) within territory at least 3 days a week
• Travel expenses: Paid mileage, expense account and company cell phone provided
